dsc02067

Some of the most amazing settings, historical sites and preserved natural wild-lands are accessible by foot on several of the Apostle Islands. We go out with a minimum of 4 people, maximum 6 people. We match groups together to make the minimum required. On these tours we boat directly to the island of interest for the designated hike and then allow plenty of time to explore the island. Don’t forget lunch, snacks and beverages to ensure a great time!

These tours are self-guided hiking adventures; your captain will drop you off  in the morning and pick you up in the early evening. Typical morning departure is 9am. We will plan a pick up time around 5pm. Your captain can pick you up and drop you off on Madeline Island or in Bayfield.

Sand Island- Lighthouse, Caves, Historic Remnants and Beaches

4-mile out and back trail, spend the day exploring the island!  $140 per person

Description: Easy. This hike begins at the campground dock and then starts a boardwalk trail, which eventually turns to dirt but it is all an easy stroll hike to the light-house grounds. In a few places along the trail there are remnants of a distant past when the island was a booming small farm and fishing community in the early part of the 1900’s. Bonus from the hiking trail there is an excellent view of the sea caves on Sand Island.  There are also 2 beautiful beaches to enjoy!

Private Tour Pricing: 1-3 people – $520 total; 4 people – $620 total; 5-6 people – regular per person price.
